Burlington Alamance Regional Airport boosts local business travel and safety

Burlington Alamance Regional Airport serves as Alamance County’s local aviation hub, providing fueling and ground handling, hangar rental and tie downs, flight instruction, aircraft maintenance, pilot lounges, and transient parking. Located just outside downtown Burlington and reachable from local arterials and the I 85 and I 40 corridors, the airport offers a convenient entry point for visiting executives, regional charters, and emergency aircraft.

The airport supports a range of local needs. Corporate travel and small cargo operations rely on its fixed base operator services and transient facilities to connect businesses here with regional markets. Emergency medical flights and public safety aircraft use the field for rapid response capability, improving county resilience in critical incidents. Community outreach through aviation days and partnerships with local schools on STEM programs brings educational benefits and strengthens the county workforce pipeline for technical aviation and maintenance roles.

For residents and businesses, practical considerations matter. Pilots should check NOTAMs and community alerts before flying. Those seeking hangar space, tie downs, or transient services should contact the airport manager to confirm availability. Business leaders arranging regional meetings commonly coordinate charters through the airport, with nearby hotels and rental cars available offsite for visitors. For current operational details and hours, consult the City of Burlington’s official airport page or call the airport manager’s office.

From an economic perspective, maintaining quality fixed base operator services and sufficient hangar capacity aligns with broader trends in regional development where general aviation strengthens local commerce and attracts mobile business investment. Continued coordination between city officials, economic development leaders, and the aviation community will be important to preserve these benefits, support emergency readiness, and expand aviation education partnerships that can create long term local jobs. The airport’s location and mix of services position it as a practical asset for Alamance County’s economic and public safety strategies.
